Just called bcbs to check how long it would take to get approved. Case submitted 10/25 approved 10/29.

I'm freaking out. I'm so excited to do this and be done with this fat suit forever.

Happy Monday all :-)

Thank you. Now I have to tell my family. I was waiting to find out if I was approved. I'm so afraid they are going to be disappointed with me that I'm afraid to tell them.

Congrats to you both! I have to get pulmonary clearance again before they will schedule my surgery. But I'm still shooting to be done before the end of the year.

My pulmonary will expire 11/11 and my ultrasound isn't until 11/20. So my surgery has to be after that date. I'm freaking out. This is all becoming so real now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
